Is anybody getting decent performance > with that adapter in a similar configuration? I'd like to save $50. Have you tried playing with the MTU ? Some DSL's seem to like MTU's lower than 1500, like the popular 576. Also are you running SKIP ? SKIP mungs the MTU which some clients can't deal with. I had a situation with NATD and SKIP and Mac clients on a DSL. By disabling SKIP, the problem was solved. (Windows clients did not have a problem).
